We paddled out super early this morning.  It was still dark!

Nakahodo-san surfing his new magic board into the sunrise. 

A few of my friends at Bowls asked me where we’ve been.  I told them, we’ve been doing Boot Camp at very challenging spots, and now we’re applying what we learned on one of the easiest waves on the island.  This is the calmest surf we’ve had in a very long time. 

So calm that we can enjoy the rainbows. 

Now my students understand why we surf challenging waves.  You learn the most on the challenging days so when the good days like this come, we perform.  

Calm and cool.  This is surfing…

After this session, we went to challenge ourselves again.  Bigger, windier, harder, but rewarding.

We arrived to the beach and found out I had a flat tire.  OMG!  

Thank goodness Toda-san came to help me.  One of the nicest guys in the world.

I drove by the rail in Kapolei for the first time so I was expecting to see a lot of cars and people.  It looked like a ghost town. 

And I didn’t see one single person at the station when I passed by twice.  If the rail doesn’t survive, this would be the biggest waste of money in Hawaii.  Or America.  Or even the whole world.
